    I'm going to take it that expecting MANTENNA is a far cry from reality but if he was in the plans I'd be happy enough.

    Some Horde Troopers would be spiffy

    Scorpia would do just fine

    Please don't make Ram-Man a sub exclusive please.

    More POP, NA, and Un-made Characters like Evil Seed ect.

    I would also love Two-bad but released first as the two seperate characters!

    Didn't Scott directly confirm several times now that they would not pull a cheap move like making Ram-Man the 2013 sub-exclusive? TG would lose MASSIVE amounts of credibility and I'm pretty sure this would be a HORRIBLE time to try and pull crap with fans.

    TO CLARIFY-

    I'm not saying Brian said he was going to be a sub figure I just wanted to take the chance to point out Ram-Man WON'T be the exclusive before people took Brian's comment as meaning the exclusive elsewhere- which indirectly ended up happening.

    Sub lure can also be the first three monthly figures of the new year. IE Sorceress, Khan, Fisto of 2012
    Hide & Seek Hordak does nothing to make collecting fun.

    I think the sub lure for 2013 will be a mandatory POP concept figure 4 pack.

    If they use Ram Man in 2013, then they could use Scorpia in 2014 since it seems as if she's one of the next most requested figures. They could possibly use other vintage figures, such as Two Bad or Mantenna in later years.

    Now that I think of it, I would have expected Mekaneck to be a lure, so it's odd that he's coming out in the fall.

    Read bcrdukes comment again? He NEVER said Ram-Man as the Sub EXCLUSIVE he said maybe as a Sub Lure. Meaning If Ram-Man was in the 2013 Subscription it would lure more people into buying subs because everyone knows on sale day Ram-Man will last two seconds before selling out.

    Who said I was responding to Brian again? I happened to post in the topic and it was under Brian- if I was responding directly to him I would QUOTE him. I was posting it here to curb all the speculation I've read on here, The Foosh, and other boards about people claiming Ram-Man will be the exclusive for the sub and I was trying to nip it in the bud before it starts. Also, Brian is an extremely articulate man and I'm sure he can speak for himself in general so please don't think he wouldn't if he felt slighted in the least.

    I updated my original post to be more clear as it was extremely confusing the way it read before MJ.

    Oh i wasn't picking on you Vertigo, I just thought you had misunderstood bcrdukes comment is all. Glad to see you clarified it and I understood Ram-Man wouldn't be the sub exclusive. If Scott ever did that he would need to go into the witness protection program

    People may over exaggerate at times, but making Ram-Man the sub exclusive would be like signing the line (and his own careers) death warrant lol.

    I think mjw41 was referring to this post:

    Just to clarify.... I never said Ram Man was going to be the 2013 Club Eternia Subscription Exclusive. I said I think Scott will use him as a big SDCC Subscription lure. He would likely be an impressive sculpt, and he's surely highly demanded.

    And honestly, after thinking about it, and reading people's posts here and elsewhere on the net, Ram Man being shown isn't going to lose Mattel any subscribers.

    There are a TON of characters left, and the few people here who insist that the line is dead after Ram Man aren't in touch with the fact that many of the customers who are in it for everything may outnumber them.

    We also need to count the number of people who used to be vintage motu-only fans who have been swayed by MOTUC's inclusion of POP, NA, Filmation, mini-comics, and concept characters. There have been quite a few here, and since the Org is a really nice cross-section of the customer base, I would feel comfortable betting that the majority of customers are into this line for the great new stuff to come.

    A Want List of Sorts:
    Rokkon, Stonedar, Nepthu, Plundor, Sea Hawk, Strong-Arm, Dactys, Horde Troopers, Storm, Geldor, Modulok, Battle Ram, Kowl, Loo-Kee, Hydron, Glimmer, Eldor, Two Bad, Ninjor, Rio Blast, Mermista, Entrapta, Sweet Bee, Peekablue, Flutterina, Gorpo, Flogg, Crimson Fury, Songster, Lodar, Kex Queen, Goat Man, Darius, Uncle Montork, Dree-Elle

    2002 Prince Adam

    Anyone else think that the Four Horsemen might make Dare look like 2002 Prince Adam? Kills two birds with one stone.

    Also, I want Scorpia so bad it hurts!

    I hope not. If/when we get Dare, I hope he has the heroic/muscular buck.

    You're probably right about there being enough subscribers who want everything, or at least I hope you are.

    Apparently Scott is indeed sticking to his original statement of Ram-Man NOT being a sub exclusive, I still hope he makes him a sub lure none the less!

    Personally, I guessed Two-Bad in a previous thread instead of Ram-Man as the big sub lure revealed at SDCC, but I'm in agreement that at least one of the first quarter previews will be a figure with mostly new tooling. I guess you could lump Mantenna in that category with Ram-Man and Two-Bad, too, although he strikes me as a bit less of a 'must-have' for most people.

    I am one of those! Initially I onlt wanted the MOTU stuff and shortly owned everything. If we got Ram Man tomorrow most people will still be buying since everyone has a different favorite character. And some people claim POP has more fans which should be a driving force for years to come.

    2013...... TWO BAD!!!

    Ram Man will probably come out sometime mid year (July) or late quarter....

    Glimmer will finally get her Glow On!!!

    If it's not Eldor it will be either King He-Man () or Dare as the sub exclusive.

    We will have King Miro, Lodar, Clamp Champ, Octavia, Stridor, Horde Troopers, NA Skeletor, Hydron, Battleground Queen Marlena just to name a few!

    For 2013 Horde Troopers are a must. I also hope we get a Prahvus and something from the King He-Man era. As far as a beast I hope we get Battle Lion and maybe a Stridor. I would also, like to see a 3 pack sold outside the sub like they did with Granamyr.

    My guess is that Ram Man isn't coming in 2013 but 2014 or later. The sub-ex will be King Miro to round out further the royal family. Two-Bad will be a sub lure with a prominent POP-ster and an early Filmation star like Strong Arm.

    These are guesses.
